Catalog of books in Japan - Nihonkokugenzaishomokuraku

A catalog of Chinese books that were imported to Japan by imperial order. 1 volume. Published around 891 (Kanpei 3). Compiled by Fujiwara Sukeyo. Also called the Catalogue of Books Found in Japan or the Catalogue of Books Found in Japan, the oldest copy at Muroji Temple reads as a Catalogue of Apocrypha, which probably indicates that it is a catalog of Chinese books as opposed to internal texts. It is also called the Sake-roku or Fujiwara Sake-junku, depending on the name of the compiler. It is the oldest catalog of Chinese books in Japan. It is a classified catalog of Chinese books of the time, with the title and volume number of each book and a note on the compiler. Following the Suisho Jijingzhi, it contains 40 categories, 1,579 books, and 16,790 volumes, from the Ika to the Soshu. Only an abridged version remains. Included in "Zoku Gunsho Ruiju."

日本に渡来していた漢籍の勅撰(ちょくせん)の目録。1巻。891年（寛平3）ごろの成立。藤原佐世(すけよ)撰。『日本見在書目録』『本朝見在書目録』ともいわれ、最古写本たる室生(むろう)寺本に「外典書籍(げてんしょじゃく)目録」とみえるのは、内典に対する漢籍の目録であることを示したものであろう。また撰者の名によって「佐世録」「藤原佐世注文」ともよばれる。日本の漢籍目録として最古のもの。当時の漢籍の分類目録で、各書について書名・巻数をあげ、撰者を注する。『隋書(ずいしょ)経籍志』に従って、易家から惣集(そうしゅう)家まで40部門、1579部、1万6790巻を収める。現存は抄略本のみ。『続群書類従』所収。
